Your Mulank, Bhagyank and Naam-ank from your name and date of birth — calculated in the Vedic / Chaldean tradition, instantly and entirely in your browser.
Mulank is your birth-day number — the single digit obtained by reducing the date of the month you were born. For example, born on the 23rd, Mulank is 2 + 3 = 5. It is considered the most immediate signature of personality.
Bhagyank is your destiny or life-path number — the single digit obtained by summing the full date of birth (day, month, year) and reducing to one digit. It is considered the longer-term theme of your life direction.
Naam-ank is the numerical sum of the letters of your name, mapped to digits using the Chaldean letter-value system. It is read alongside Mulank and Bhagyank to assess how a person's chosen or used name reinforces or conflicts with their birth signature.
Chaldean (used here) is the older system rooted in Babylonian and Vedic-influenced tradition, mapping letters to digits 1 through 8 based on sound vibration. Pythagorean is the modern Western system using digits 1 through 9 in alphabetical order. Vedic Indian numerology largely follows the Chaldean letter-values.
In the Chaldean system: 1 Sun, 2 Moon, 3 Jupiter, 4 Rahu, 5 Mercury, 6 Venus, 7 Ketu, 8 Saturn, 9 Mars. The qualities of each planet inform the personality, lucky day, colour and metal traditionally assigned to that number.
Classical practice treats name change as a corrective measure only when there is a clear conflict between Naam-ank and Mulank or Bhagyank, and even then under the guidance of an experienced astrologer. The birth date numbers are fixed and far more important than name adjustments.
In some modern systems 11, 22 and 33 are treated as master numbers and not reduced. The classical Chaldean and Indian tradition this tool follows reduces all multi-digit results to a single digit (1 through 9), since the underlying planetary mapping has only nine numbers.
